Farewell, Riversharks.

As many have read, the Camden Riversharks ceased all operations yesterday, thus ending their 15 year reign on the Camden Waterfront.

A part of me was really torn up by the folding of "South Jersey's Home Team" yesterday. Its not everyday a huge piece of who you are and where you are today goes away. As a 15 year old kid from Erial, NJ, I was excited when the Riversharks announced their arrival and debuted on the Camden Waterfront in 2001. Sure, it wasn't affiliated with any major league team, but it was a chance to see baseball in a fun environment.
